Glitch? Issue? with Fates

This has only happened in EW/DT fates that I know of as I am keeping track of it as shared fates completion, but twice now I haven't gotten credit for collection/turn-in fates.

(I sent in a GM ticket the first time it happened in an EW fate months ago but I just had it happen again in a DT fate so I guess it's still an issue?)

I usually do fates while waiting on DPS queues and sometimes will pop in an out and lose level sync as a result and this has happened twice in collection/turn-in fates where when I turn in the items without being level synced, I do not get credit for the fate. When this happened in a Garlemald fate I turned in all 18 items for 100% completion and did not get credit.

Has anyone else had this experience btw? It's possibly hard to notice if you're popping around doing a bunch of fates at the same time.

If spaghetti code makes this an issue can devs lock the turn-in menu to only work when we are level sync'd or something? It's hard to remember when you're mindlessly doing the fate grind and a weird issue since I get credit for the fate when I am not level synced and flying around the map but it doesn't count unless I'm level synced while turning in the items? Very annoying when you're down to the last couple of fates for a map and have to sit there waiting for new ones to spawn.

This was reported as a bug for an ARR FATE. I tested it myself and it is clearly intentional. It warns you that "You are far above the recommended level for this FATE. Your contribution will be ignored."

As such, it was put as Working As Intended.

Well, something here isn't adding up.

the difference here is that an ARR Fate doesn't have another system behind it (the gems / 60 fates per zone etc) while EW/DT does. You can be max level in EW and DT fates and still get credit. ARR fates only give EXP, thus if you're too high level, then your contribution will be ignored.

That's missing the point. The OP is reporting this problem with EW and DT FATEs, and is given an explanation that specifically only explains the behavior for ARR FATEs. The answer does not fit the problem.

Uh, yes it does... ARR FATEs and EW/DT FATEs are the exact same thing: FATEs.

The rule is the same, regardless of expansion: if you hand in while being too high level, you do not get credit for what you handed in. You must click the Level Sync button and the game makes this clear when it puts in your chat window:

"You are far above the recommended level for this FATE. Your contribution will be ignored."

ARR has GC seals as a reward instead of gemstones. Either way, too high level, no rewards.
